> claimed that in May 2018 with "medium to high confidence" the phone of Jeff Bezos had been hacked by a file sent from the WhatsApp account of the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman.

> The video in the file was not infected, but the downloader of the file could not be analyzed by investigators because it was encrypted by WhatsApp.[16]
